Have a really low day so tired trying to cope even got completely ignored by a so called friend today as if i am a leper why cant people understand how we are feeling 
i have decided that I’m going to take the anti depression tablets will call surgery tomorrow i am really stressed.
These unkind even cruel people one day the personal grief will come to them then perhaps they will realise what friends and neighbours suport means when they are also ignored and shunned .

Hello,
It’s very hurtful when your ignored as were very sensitive, it could be that they didn’t know what to say? Or maybe there’s something going on in their life & their heads all over the place.
Try and let it go & know that sometimes friendships don’t survive a bereavement, their loss, in time you’ll make new friends.

You’re not alone, you have this community also your children.
How your feeling is normal, after such a long marriage be odd if you didn’t feel so distraught.
It’s very difficult to adjust to being on your own, but adjust you will, you have no choice you have to show your children that they in the future will survive this type of loss.
You are in the worst part, it’s gut wrenching & so shocking, at the moment just try to sleep, eat whatever you fancy, a shower a day & a walk when it’s dark, that’s all you can expect of yourself.
I know you’ll survive this pain in memory of your wife & for your children.

Thank you for you kind words i know your right i can just hear her telling me to be brave and to look to the future it’s an uphill strugle that many people don’t even begin to understand when you have been with someone over 50 years then in1 cruel week to have it all taken away.
I have now tremendous support from 2 lovely doctors who together 
we have worked out a plan of continuing support.
I would like to thank everyone who has shown such kindness 
in this forum without chatting if thats a way of writing how i feel and receiving such kind words
Sending big hugs Mike
